Beilschglabrines A and B: Two new bioactive phenanthrene alkaloids from the stem bark of Beilschmiedia glabra

Two new phenanthrene alkaloids, beilschglabrines A (1) and B (2) were isolated from the stem bark of Beilschmiedia glabra, together with lupeol, taraxerol, and 24-methylenelanosta-7,9-diene-3β-15α-diol. The structures of the isolated compounds were elucidated by extensive spectroscopic data analysis...

Description
Summary:Two new phenanthrene alkaloids, beilschglabrines A (1) and B (2) were isolated from the stem bark of Beilschmiedia glabra, together with lupeol, taraxerol, and 24-methylenelanosta-7,9-diene-3β-15α-diol. The structures of the isolated compounds were elucidated by extensive spectroscopic data analysis and comparison with respective literature data. The compounds were tested for DPPH radical scavenging, acetylcholinesterase and lipoxygenase inhibitory activities. Compound 1 displayed considerable activity in the acetylcholinesterase (IC50 50.4 μM), the DPPH radical scavenging (IC50 115.9 μM) and the lipoxygenase (IC50 32.8 μM) assays. © 2016 Phytochemical Society of Europe.
